All the linework was done using a 12′ Cintiq, and it was a bit weird using the tool that I’ve coveted for so long. It feels pretty much exactly the same as an Intuous 3, but your hand covers half of the panel. I’ll keep practicing…

I spent ages just watching all the animations for each of the attractions, there was so much detail packed into that little game. I also enjoyed the PS1 version because of the first person mode it featured, though it was a bit naff and it looked like you visited it on a rainy day. The DS version was really very good and I recommend it for modern system players.

Here are some other comics you might like!

I keep buying Robocod because they keep re-releasing the darn thing. The MegaDrive version is my favourite, of course, but it’s just so huge and cute and full of hidden surprises that I can’t resist quad dipping.

I bought the Nintendo DS version when it came out and my wife played it while I was out one day. I came home to her livid. “BAD GAME”, she growled, pointing at the Robocod cartridge like it was a puppy that just messed up the rug.

“VERY BAD GAME.”

Forget finances, politics or religion – Robocod is an issue that really tests a marriage.

And man oh man, I think Robocod wins the prize for being the game that got converted to the most number of machines. It was released in that curious nexus where 8, 16 and 32-bit machines all peacefully coexisted and had new games released for them. I know I spent a fortune of magazines at the time keeping up with it all…and now look where all of it got me!
